The article says 36k per family member... Who all are part of this "family"?

Are parents also included apart from the wife?
 
This is for salried employees

you would be limited by max 36k , even if your LTA for annual year is 50k you would be capped by 36k per head, and member could be parents wife kid dependent sister brother , all bills with gst equal and above 12% would be accepted bill could be from 20 OCT 2020 till march 31 2021 , any bill paid digitally @12 gst and above on any of your immediate family member . that's what i understand ,please consult your CA or any sound financial advisor that of yours .I was any ways going to buy this one. this may make it even sweeter.

So my dad availed this scheme.
Family members include employee's spouse, parents and children.
Depending on the designation, a LTC fare limit is calculated and applied to each memeber and that's the max amount you can be reimbursed with.
Now you don't need to buy goods worth 3X the amount of the combined LTC fare of all members, you avail benefit for let's say just 3 out of 5 members and buy goods worth 3X of the combined LTC amount for 3 people. Then you will be eligible for reimbursement of the combined LTC amount + the tax exemption.
In the article it says that this LTC amount per person is capped at 36k per person, this rule can vary for different institutions and depts. as autonomous depts. can set their own rules.
In case of my dad, he was able to avail the scheme and get LTC fare more than 36k per person from his dept.

I availed the same today. It is per dependent and yes the amount varies by org and designation.

My friend bought a CX couple weeks ago and he was told that the offer will run till the end of March but he didn't see any written material stating that.
It's better to get the 2yr extended warranty from LG as their service is top notch.
As far as I remember, it was 20-25k for 2yrs but you gotta confirm.
Burn-in is not covered but any other panels issues are.

burn in could be avoided , major worry is dead pixel

Yes, my father is a Central govt. employee and he is at a pretty good post so his LTC fare per person is much higher than 36k.
His dept. approved it but your mileage may vary because his organisation is autonomous although he didn't receive any order stating the 36k limit.

Doesn't matter. The limit is 36k/member for everyone unless your organization is autonomous and decides to grant extra.
My mom is also a central govt. employee and for her it's fixed at 36k even though her organization is autonomous as well. Not the case with my dad's organization.
 
I am totally unaware about this LTC for private employees. Can anyone throw more light on it, or guide me to a good source? Can anyone working in any private organization claim this LTC, or should such a scheme be made available by the employer specifically?
 
i think this would be good policy and should stay atleast for private sector ,some might say tourism will be affected i really don't think so this give a person where he/she wants to spend and one who likes to travel will always travel and can submit hotel bills etc

Most people are unaware of this actually..
It's largely the fault of govt only. Since that lady Nirmala something has become the FM, they announce things in such a way that most of the stuff not clear and concise.
Be it this LTC scheme or the recent budgets. They think all of us possess the knowledge of CAs and can understand linguistics accordingly. They don't put anything in simple layman terms.
I feel even most media outlets couldn't understand it properly so they just copy-pasted the whole stuff as it is everywhere. Even several organizations are clueless themselves hence decided not to even inform the employees about the scheme altogether.
Luckily our org was somewhat helpful and announced the scheme to us. Although it was very late, only around the beginning of this month. Whereas many of my friends had already submitted bills for the same long back.

What it basically is that, since you could not travel due to the pandemic in the last FY, you couldn't possibly make use of your LTA exemption benefits.
Hence they allowed you to claim the same exemption by showing bills for any product/services you paid for between Oct2020-Mar2021 which attracted a GST of 12% or more. Although not the whole bill amount is exempt, rather only 1/3rd of it.
Hence say your LTA exemption provided by the employer was 50k then you need to show bills worth 1.5lacs to utilize the whole exemption. On top of it, per head max exemption is 36k. Hence you need to include your dependents too if you want to claim an exemption of more than 36k.

I was aware of this since December but was waiting to make purchases to avail the full benefit.

Today, came to know that the system to declare tax benefits has been closed for this FY which is stupid since bills dated until March 31 are supposed to be accepted and you can submit the request to the company only once.

Guess I have a futile fight ahead to avail the benefit and I am not sure if it can be declared while filing the returns due to it being organisation dependent.
 
Yeh some companies have been super weird about it.

My wife's company also had the clause that GST should be 18% or more on those products so all her clothes, accessories, etc didn't count.

So for govt. employees, they get reimbursed the amount of LTC deemed fare for ex: Fare is 20k/member, there are 3 members in total. Spend 1.8L (60k*3) and you will be reimbursed 60k.
So for private employees is the same as well or you don't get reimbursement, can only claim tax benefits?
